Better embedded library interfaces with modern C++
summary
Shows how modern C++ features—enum class, namespaces, std::byte, std::array and inline templates—can make a C-style embedded library type-safe and user-friendly without runtime overhead. Presents a template-based pin/IO abstraction that compiles down to the same few clock-cycle operations, with demos (a 12-LED blinky and a small-chip protocol using 5-byte commands), Google Test plus hardware runs for validation, and a published zero-overhead, reusable implementation.
